Description

They call it the Lone Cypress. But it really isn't. The most photographed tree in the world sit out on a rugged, rocky point jutting out into the pacific ocean alone side the famous 17 Mile drive in Monterey California. But there is actually two tress on that point. This is the second one. It is smaller and only about half out to the very tip of the rock formation.
